cascade

a doodled series of faces ink and pantone on Moleskine paper.

I suppose I got the idea from Dave Shelton via Drawn

Can I also just say that I had a long fight with my conscience about acknowledging Dave because his drawings are so good and I didn't want to look bad in comparison. I lost.

my blog hell

I'm tired of you lot (eyes doppelganger /billsworth/ eyechild) making me wait for your posts all the time.

iconography

I stumbled across this great site courtesy of Drawn, Filled with characters of all different types, descriptions and media.

GO Mojizu go!

Better get some of mine polished up and ready to go!

quizzical angel

huh?

sorry about the poor picture quality -scanner problems should be able to sort it aht soon though.

colouring the monster

With some helpful tips from this guy I've begun to teach myself to colour in Photoshop, and this is the first effort. Of which I'm strangely proud.

You can see the original un-coloured version here

Cities in the sky

I don't link to a lot of other posts on this blog, but this guy is fascinating. The ultimate urban planner, he has been creating an entire city from nothing, in his head. His having Aspergers Syndrome ("high functioning autism") might help. (Yes, it's what the main character in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime has.)


Welcome to Urville. Pop. 11.5 million. or 0, depending on how you look at it.

awesome joy buzzers

so this 'bloke died and left me some comics in his will. This is my favourite, with a slightly Jamie Milligan sensibility and frankly bonkers (even by comic standards) plot.

moleskine pretty

hey doppelganger

Hey!Deadly doppelganger! I see your spooky steel horse-thing and raise you a *possessed* spooky horse-thing.

new team member at stickerthing

Pro photographer K80 has joined the crew at stickerthing with cool shots from London's East End (the trendy parts), only one is up but more are to come. Or so she says.

blueskin

I don't know who she is, or why she's holding her sword the wrong way up.

yay!

okay! and now it's started working again.

This guy is an old experimnet with colour, his specs are actually reflective paper, but I guess that doesn't scan too well.

grrr

I know I've been a little slack of late, I have tried to upload about three times but the script keeps sticking...grrr

loads more pictures to come

Commissioned work

This is a small part of some work I did for a pre-clerking form for the UCLH head and neck centre (watch this space for the website). It's a stylised view of the larynx (voice-box) for mapping tumours. The images have to be simple and survive multiple copies being made by photocopier.

And this is an view of the neck for mapping nodal deposits of the cancer in the neck

fingercreep

this stalks the nightmares of lonely people, walking on its fingers like a spider.

inked elefool

and once you've put some ink on the sketch...it looks no better

binocular vision

Now for the first in an occasional series of binocular monsters, with tentacles and trunks. This is the first sketch...

burning monk

This is a 2-stage stencil using a the frame of the stencil as partof the image and some very blobby black spraypaint. The image is a famous one of the buddhist monk who set himself alight to protest against the government's religious persecution (which went on to become the cover of a Rage against the Machine album). Taken by Malcolm W Brown in 1963.

I'm not sure the image is famous enough to warrant instant recognition and the stencil lacks enough detail to be easily recognised for what it is, but I like the way it turned out.

I originally thought the monk was protesting against the Vietnam war, when I made this, and it was meant to have an anti-Iraq war message but I suppose the religious tolerance message is as pertinent now.

monocular misfit

Another monocular moron. ink on paper in front of Angel series 1 (again)
